Who rescued who 💕💞💕😻😽😼🙀😿😾🫶👩

"She's the last cat in the cage. I think she's too ugly," my friend said.

That was all it took. I dashed to the pet shop and bought her. And so Strudel, the ugly cat with a beautiful heart, came home with me.

This beautiful soul lived with me for 20 years. And every night for twenty years. And every night for twenty years, she patted me on the nose, and I would lift the duvet and let her crawl into bed. Then she would curl up into the crook of my arm and off we would slip into dreamland together.

Going for walks was an adventure for her. She would follow me or run ahead and wait for me to catch up, drawing looks of amazement.

"She's like a dog!" they would gasp.

And I would smile, my heart bursting with love for my wonderful friend. She was my sun, and I was her moon. She and I would orbit one another, her bell reassuring me that she was never far away.

Fiercely protective of me, she would growl at strange noises in the house and came when I whistled her special whistle. I knew her miaow the way a mother knows her baby's cry. Fearless and brave, she once chased a Doberman off our property, coming back to me to show a pawful of black fur from the hindquarter of the unwelcome visitor.

My heart broke the day she started bumping into furniture. I knew she was going blind, a sure sign her kidneys were failing. One cold morning, I realised I hadn't seen Strudel for a while. I ran downstairs to find her lying, wide-eyed and terrified, in the throes of a massive stroke. I kissed her, put her in her basket and took her to the vet, barely able to see where I was going through the tears. It was her time.

I cry as I write this, over 15 years later. But I know that Strudel will hear my whistle when I cross the Rainbow Bridge, and she'll come running to me as she did all those years ago.

YOU can make the difference 😏 Ready to adopt?? Save a life ??

We drove from Maryland to North Carolina to adopt Ethel, a 5-year-old brindle Great Dane. She looked so happy in the picture, we were unprepared for reality.
My first thought was how thin she looked, her sagging teats telling the story of her years as a puppy mill breeding machine. We walked towards her, treats in our hands, but only took a few steps before she crouched, cringing, against the fence and starting an eerie crooning.
Her foster mom said Ethel “sang” whenever she was frightened. Moving slowly and not looking directly at her, I stretched out my hand for Ethel to smell. She sniffed, grabbed the treat, and backed away, wide-eyed and singing.
We learned Ethel’s story. She was in a puppy mill and, when it closed, she was given to a man who hit her, tied her up outside and let his other dogs attack her. The man moved away, leaving Ethel tied in the yard. His neighbors fed her and finally called the authorities.
Ethel wasn’t sure about getting in the back of our Explorer for the trip home, but she finally jumped in and settled down.
At our house she relaxed, but bedtime was a problem. Ethel had never seen stairs! Shaking and singing, she refused to go upstairs to sleep.
Michael coaxed her with treats, but once they were gone she bolted back to her loveseat, wild-eyed with fear. I slept on the couch that night so she wouldn’t be alone.
The days went by and Ethel settled in. She mastered her fear of the evil stairs, took over our loveseat, a corner of our bedroom and our hearts. She discovered the joys of chasing squirrels, romping with dog buddies and tasting people food.
She is a constant joy and we love her dearly.
